The Blue Dragon…Brilliant Theatre

I had the opportunity to see the current production of The Blue Dragon at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto recently…and what a delightful surprise. Having no expectations entering the theatre the play transported the audience, as theatre should, to a land far away. The clever set gave the feeling of more than three characters on stage throughout the almost two hour performance. The creators Marie Michaud and Robert Lepage have delivered one of the finest theatrical experiences in recent memory. The Blue Dragon continues until February 19th. Let’s hope this piece reaches beyond a Canadian audience.
